** This is the optimum display mode for the best displayed image. Reduced image
quality may result if used in other modes due to the image scaling limitations of LCD
monitor technology.
• User modes: 16
The preset modes cannot be overwritten, but can be adjusted to personal choice.
The new settings are stored automatically in one of the user locations and are
recalled each time that mode is used. The factory settings for the mode in use, if
any, can be restored by operating the reset control.
Information about the current incoming display mode is shown in the on-screen
displays. However, it is displayed at the LCD panel's optimum refresh rate of 60 Hz.
It may be necessary to make some adjustments to the displayed image to
compensate for variations in video signal timings. The user controls can be used to
make these adjustments.
Compatibility
The monitor is supplied with a detachable 1.8-meter analog video signal cable.
This monitor has been tested with Lenovo Desktop systems and is compatible with
systems and graphics adapters which comply with the relevant parts of "VESA and
industry standards and guidelines for computer display monitor timing" Version
1.0 Revision 11, adopted in May, 2007. Supported display modes and number of
colors are a function of the attaching system unit. The full range of display modes,
refresh rates, and number of colors available with this monitor may not be available
or supported with all combinations of system units, their operating systems, and
application software. Implementation of monitor plug and play follows the VESA
DDC standard. This standard must also be implemented in the attaching system unit
hardware and software to be effective.
Limitations
• Supported display modes are a function of the attaching system unit and video
subsystem. The full range of display modes available with these monitors may not
be available or supported with all combinations of system units, their operating
systems, video adapter cards, and application software.
• Horizontal- and vertical-synchronization signal timings are critical in order to
achieve acceptable screen images. As a consequence, support for all possible
variations in H- and V-sync timings for any display mode cannot be assumed.
• Adjustment of the user controls to enlarge the image to its maximum size requires
that the signal timings of the display mode being used fall within the monitor-
timing specifications.
• The number of colors shown in any display mode (up to a maximum of 16.7
million) is not limited by the monitor, but depends on the capabilities of the video
adapter in the system unit.
• Implementation of monitor power management follows the VESA DPMS standard.
This standard must also be implemented in the attaching system unit hardware
and software for monitor power management to be effective. The system
implementation must provide user-adjustable, power-down delay periods. The
monitor power management function is invoked only after appropriate signals are
received from an attached system unit or video adapter.
• Implementation of monitor Plug and Play follows the VESA DDC standard. This
standard must also be implemented in the attaching system unit hardware and
software for monitor Plug and Play to be effective.
• Certain functions require the system unit to be similarly configured, so all monitor
functions may not be enabled when attached to a particular system unit.
• A 18.5-inch wide TFT monitor has over 3.1 million subpixel transistors laid over
an area exceeding 140 square inches. Cost-effective manufacturing processes
introduce a small number of defective subpixel transistors.
